Cops don't buy it & arrest him
GOIANIA, Goias – The Military Police (PM) late Thursday night, arrested a young man for being in possession of 100 kilos of marijuana, in the Sector Nova Era area of Aparecida de Goiania. According to the PM, the drugs were hidden in a suitcase and the 27-year-old suspect claimed that it was for his “personal consumption.”
Police said the young man was under observation for about two weeks before they arrested him. The PM suspects that there are more people involved and that the suspect was a trafficker in Goiania and Aparecida de Goiania. “The Civil Police (PC) will investigate, of course, whether this individual is just one branch of a much larger gang of drug traffickers,” Maj. Ricardo Mendes told G1 Goiania.
Under interrogation, the suspect told police that he purchased the drug in Paraguay for about U.S. $13,000. He faces 5 to 15 years imprisonment, if convicted for international drug trafficking.
